Inventor: CHRISTIANI PETER
IPC: G08C23/02
Filed: 2000-08-30
Abstract: A method and a device for the supply of electrical loads in or on a pneumatic device with electrical power energy. The pneumatic device is connected by way of a pneumatic line with a source of pressure. The transmission of power energy to the pneumatic device takes place using acoustic waves, microwaves, changes in pressure or a flow of gas in the pneumatic line. Conversion of such transmitted energy into the electrical supply energy occurs in or on the pneumatic device. This means that electrical lines for electrical power supply may be dispensed with and that the transmission of energy takes place only by way of the pneumatic line.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un vecteur inductible par médicament dont la régulation est effectuée par un transactivateur endogène d'hôte, ainsi qu'un tissu autologue transplantable apte à prendre greffe chez un receveur, sans préparation toxique, pour une administration de transgène à un receveur. Les systèmes actuels de vecteurs hôtes inductibles par médicament sont sensibles à des activateurs de transcription non eucaryotes étrangers qui sont potentiellement immunogènes et peuvent affecter la survie et le fonctionnement à long terme des cellules modifiées. La présente invention concerne donc un vecteur d'expression inductible par médicament comprenant un transgène lié de manière utilisable à un reporter et à un promoteur inductible sensible à un activateur de transcription d'un hôte lorsqu'il est exposé à une quantité efficace d'un médicament cliniquement acceptable. Il est possible d'introduire un tel vecteur chez un hôte transplantable provenant du receveur et apte à prendre greffe chez le receveur sans préparation toxique.

Inventor: KOUKKARI EERO
IPC: H03F1/30
Filed: 2000-12-04
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for auto-biasing an amplifier. The invention is particularly useful in biasing non-linear amplifiers and amplifiers whose input signal may be amplitude modulated (AM). The auto-bias system of the present invention has an active bias feedback loop that continuously adjusts the bias condition of an amplifier to a wanted state during amplifier operation by monitoring a physical quantity indicative of the operating state of the amplifier and controlling the amplifier bias so as to control the amplifier operating point sufficiently to compensate for variations in amplifier electrical characteristics, amplifier load, amplifier temperature, and input signals. In the case of an AM input signal, the auto-bias system of the present invention may provide sample and hold function so that the amplifier bias is the same during high power periods and low power periods, even though during high power periods the amplifier may be operating in a non-linear region. In one variation of the invention the amplifier may be an RF transistor, for example, a bipolar transistor, and may be used in a mobile cellular communications system. Further, the present amplifier auto-bias system eliminates the need for manually setting the amplifier bias during production and enables use of any transistor type in the amplifier.

Abstract: During crimping, after being held tense, first and second crimping pieces 11,
12 are curved such that leading edges 11A, 12A thereof are inclined inwardly to reduce
a diameter, which is then crimped into connection with a wire W. Since the
second crimping piece 12 is formed with a deformation facilitating portion 15 for facilitating
such bending as to incline the leading edge 12A inwardly by being partly
thinned at a position along its extending direction, the leading edge 12A can be securely
bent inwardly. Thus, a crimping error resulting from such a deformation as to
incline the leading edge 12A in a direction opposite from an intended one can be
prevented from occurring.

Abstract: An injection moulding method provides products with excellent
transcription and gloss level. Immediately after a resin is injected into a die cavity
(1), carbon dioxide gas is injected to move back the surface skin layer to form a
space (13) between the resin and the die surface (1) whereby growth of the skin layer
is slowed down. At the same time the carbon dioxide is dissolved in the skin layer
producing a lowering of the glass transition point. The skin layer is then again
closely cohered to the surface of the die by increasing the applied pressure on the
resin and the die is then cooled to set the moulded product under the holding
pressure. Products with excellent transcription and gloss level of surface can be
obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiband antenna structure suitable for mobile stations in
particular. The radiating elements of the antenna include not only a helix (210) but
also the joining piece (220) that attaches the helix to the apparatus. The helix is
shaped such that the distance between its conductor turns varies. The electrical
length of the joining piece is increased e.g. by means of a conductive projection
(226) that remains within the covering of the apparatus. By suitably dimensioning
the parts, at least five of the resonances that the helix and joining piece have
together and separately are arranged at useful points on the frequency scale. The
structure according to the invention is despite the several bands simple and
relatively low in production costs.
